Little Ball of Hilarity

Mon, 2008-02-11 15:36 — willfe

You’ve got to love the world of internet media. You’ve also got to love the deluded little world Microsoft lives in, and the world of geeks that enjoy shredding their claims.

Google Reader is a nifty little web-based RSS feed reader that lets you read all your favorite web sites right from one spot, by collecting entries, articles, and posts together, organizing them in (roughly) reverse chronological order, then showing them in a very fast, easy-to-digest format.

It also provides, by virtue of how it does its work, the occasional dose of pure hilarity, just like it did here:

Now that makes me chuckle. One group of geeks buys the Microsoft claims hook, line, and sinker; the other group has already “broken” the new “security” measures. Heh. For some twenty years now Microsoft (and others) have been trying to sort out a way to prevent software piracy. They still haven’t managed to actually do it.
